Australian Vocational Education

Vocational Education and Training (VET) is provided by training organizations which register with the government to teach accredited courses and include government and private providers. Government registered training organizations include Technical and Further Education (TAFE) institutes.

Technical and Further Education (TAFE) is the nationally recognized government system of vocational education and training, and is the major provider of skills for the Australian workforce.

TAFE courses offered by the Gordon Institute range from Certificate to Degree level. Graduates may use their qualification to gain advanced standing in a University course or find employment at middle management level after returning to their home country.

ESOS Framework

The Australian Government wants overseas students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australia’s laws promote quality education and consumer protection for overseas students. These laws are known as the ESOS framework and they include the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 and the National Code.

The Gordon Institute as your education provider must ensure our courses are delivered in accordance with this ESOS framework.

The Natioal Code is a set of nationally consistent standards that governs the protection of overseas students and delivery of courses to those students by providers registered on CRICOS - the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students. Only CRICOS courses can be offered to international students studying in Australia on a student visa.
